A 142 million dollar rebuild of BELLEVUE SQUARE got underway in the late '70s. The seven city blocks of the old shopping hub were merged into one. A 2-level, fully-enclosed mall was built. It incorporated the Frederick & Nelson and Nordstrom Best structures (in black). The new venue, completed in August 1984, spanned over one million leasable square feet, with a roster of 145 stores and services.
